Trial in Broomfield nursing home sex assault case delayed until November

A trial for a man accused of sexually assaulting two women in a Broomfield nursing home has been delayed until November.

The trial for Antonio Nieto, a former nursing assistant at Broomfield Skilled Nursing, was slated to begin Monday morning. The trial was delayed because of a motion for discovery violation, according to the Broomfield court clerk's office.

The trial has been pushed back until Nov. 3.

Judge Francis Wasserman has sealed the discovery violation because it involves evidence related to the case, according to the court clerk's office.

The cases involve two victims who were patients at Broomfield Skilled Nursing during Nieto's employment at the facility.

The two victims, who were 59 and 73 years old, reported Nieto sexually assaulted them while he was assigned to their care.

Nieto has pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual assault on an at-risk victim and two counts of unlawful sexual contact on an at-risk victim.

Jury selection for the trial was supposed to start Monday, but did not take place after Wasserman approved the discovery violation, according to the clerk's office.
